Aaron Rodgers has finally ended a months-long holdout, and it’s costing one Packers player a job.
With Rodgers having reported to training camp on Tuesday, the Packers are releasing veteran quarterback Blake Bortles, according to ESPN.
Bortles, 29, signed a one-year deal with Green Bay in May, shortly after Rodgers was a no-show at voluntary OTAs. Jordan Love, the franchise’s first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, is likely to serve as Rodgers’ backup. Jake Dolegala and Kurt Benkert are the other quarterbacks currently on the Packers’ roster.
